Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

How fun!

Something Old: My grandmother's handkerchief sewed into my dress

Something New: Haven't figured out yet

Something Borrowed: My mother's earrings

Something Blue: My hair! lol I plan to keep my hair sapphire blue for our wedding day.

I love that your hair is your something blue! So much fun! I've heard of the handkerchief tradition; so special!

Something old: my garter was made from my grandmother's wedding dress

Something new: my dress, veil, shoes

Something borrowed: my earrings, my mom bought them but when I gave them back she said to keep them so not really borrowed.

Something blue: my perfume is Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana, my garter has a blue bow and my shoes are Blue by Betsey Johnson with a blue sole.

That is so sweet that your garter was made from your grandmother's dress; and that blue bow is adorable!

I love the handkerchief tradition. So sweet .

I thought having my hair blue would be a fun twist on the tradition! lol

It really is a fun twist! Blue always looks stunning next to white/ivory too!

Thank you!

So funny story my dress is actually BLACK! *GASP* I know the horror! haha so the blue will definitely stick out!

Old: Vintage handkerchief that was wrapped around my bouquet stock

New: My dress

Borrowed: Jewelry from my best friend that she wore in her wedding

Blue: the handkerchief had blue in it

Was your handkerchief from a family member like the other two ladies or something vintage you found and fell in love with?

One of my bridesmaids gave it to me as an engagement gift for the purpose of my “something old”. So, my best friend (MOH) gave me my something borrowed, and my other BM gave me my something old. So it was all pretty special.

Awww! That is so special! I love that they had a little piece for you!

Same with all of your items! Seems like everything is coming from somewhere special. That is great!

Something old: my grandmother's pearl necklace

Something new: dress/veil/shoes

Something borrowed: my stepmother's pearl earrings (they had been HER mother's)

Something blue: Ravenclaw diadem comb for veil (...and undies, in case that fell out)

The diadem stayed in place all night, so it worked out well!

I only have my something old. My moms sister (my aunt) passed away at 62 from ovarian cancer. She and I had become closer in my young adult years because I went to college only a few hours from where she lived (and further from my immediate family). On Thanksgiving, my mom gave me a bonnet she had found that my Aunt gave when I was born. It had a little poem that said "now on the wedding day, so I have been told; every well dressed bride must have something old. So what would be more fitting than to find little old me, a few snitches snipped and a wedding hankie I'll be". I plan to take it to my seamstress and see what we can do with it to incorporate in my dress. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. I didn't know it even existed and what a sweet gift it was all these years later.

That is the sweetest sentiment ever and that poem is adorable! I'm so sorry for your loss, but so happy your Aunt is still part of your wedding in memory.
